Hypertension is a rising problem in the developed countries. Some rare familial hypertensive syndromes have been found to be caused by monogenic mutations. Essential hypertension is generally regarded as a complex genetic trait caused by multiple genes. The polygenic effects on blood pressure are modulated by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Most investigations for genetic causes of...

The aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the Dniester population of sterlet Acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. The genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from Eurasian rivers (Dniester, Dnieper, Danube, Volga, Kama and Ob) was carried out using microsatellite DNA markers. The genetic var...

mutation induction is considered as an effective way to enrich plant genetic variation, particularly fortraits with a very low level of genetic variation. this research was conducted to assess genetic variationinduced by gamma radiation in m2 and m3 mutant lines of canola (brassica napus l.) by ssr and morphologicalcharacteristics and to identify useful mutants in terms of agronomic traits. six...

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic diversity and population structure of Liza klunzingeri in two regions of the Persian Gulf. In this study, the amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was employed to analyze population genetic diversity between two populations (Ziyarat & Hendijan). Seven primer combinations (E-AAG/M-CTA, E-ACT/ M-CAA, E-ACT/ M-CTA, E-AAG/M-CTG,...
